"Not since Thoreau has an American author displayed such a profound appreciation for the aesthetics of nature; but, unlike Thoreau, Berleant has designed a program for allowing others to join in on that appreciation."
-E. F. Kaelin, Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University

"Arnold Berleant's Aesthetics of Environment poses an important path for philosophy to walk down-instead of environmental ethics, where what is right and wrong in nature is discussed, he goes after the difficult destination of deciding how to articulate what is beautiful in the nature we want, not the nature we see."
-Human Ecology Review

"Berleant's new environmental aesthetics is a challenge not only to the philosophers but also to the practitioners of environment-making. With rich illustrations and freedom from technical jargon, Berleant applies his new aesthetics to analyzing and solving the practical problems concerning various environmental designs of today."
-Canadian Philosophical Review

An engaging discussion of environment as aesthetic experience
